Cold Weather Care
If the washer is delivered on a
•cold day (below freezing), or is
stored in an unheated room or
area during the cold months, do
not attempt to operate it until the
washer has had a chance to
warm up.
Care Of Your Washer
IMPORTANT: Before using the
washer for the first time, wipe out
the inside of the washtub with a
sudsy cloth.
Use only a damp or sudsy cloth
for cleaning the control panel.
Some spray prewash products
may harm the finish on the control
panel.
Wipe the washer cabinet as
needed. If detergent, bleach or
other washing products are spilled
on the cabinet, wipe immediately.
Some products will cause
permanent damage if spilled on
the cabinet.
Do not use scouring pads or
abrasive cleansers.
Do not lay sharp or rough objects
on or against the washer. The
finish could be damaged.
The washtub will need no
particular care though it may need
rinsing or wiping after an unusual
load has been washed. This also
may be necessary if too little
detergent has been used.
Leave the loading door open to
allow the inside of the washer to
dry out after use. This helps
prevent musty odors from
developing.
Vacations and
Extended Non-Use
IMPORTANT: To avoid possible
property damage due to flooding,
turn off the water supply to the
washer whenever there will be an
extended period of non-use.
Operating l"ips...
Out-Of-Balance Switch
The out-of-balance switch is
located behind the right rear hinge
of the washer loading door.
A load of one or two items can
make the washtub unbalanced
during the spin periods. For the
best spinning results, the load
must be balanced throughout the
spin period.
The out-of-balance switch is
tripped if the load becomes
excessively unbalanced during
the spin. Spinning stops when this
happens.
If the out-of-balance switch is
tripped, you will need to rearrange
the load. To do this, push the
timer knob in, open the loading
door and evenly distribute the
items in the washtub. Close the
loading door, pull the timer knob
out, and the spin will resume.
Motor Overload Protector...
This internal overload protector
will stop the motor automatically
in the event of an overload. The
overload protector will reset itself
in two or three minutes and the
motor will reset automatically. If
the overload protector stops the
motor again, remove the washer
from use and call the serviceman
to correct the problem.
